  so this is from the brand new watchtower study edition of june 2025 which has just been posted on jw.org .under the title: modestly accept what you do not know, a let’s read paragraphs in question 4 &5: “read matthew 24:36. we do not know when the end of this system of things will come.

  even jesus, while on earth, did not know the ‘day and hour.’ he later told the apostles that jehovah, who is the great timekeeper, keeps the timing of certain events ‘in his own jurisdiction,’ or authority.

  It's about time they admitted it.

  But did they really have any option? Hasn't everyone figured out by now that they have no frigging idea?

  1/2 of the Jehovah’s witnesses have gone

  by hoser in

  2. friends

  there are 1/2 of the jehovah’s witnesses that there were 30 years ago in my area.

  some have left but i think that many have died and none of their kids stayed being jehovah’s witnesses.

  7 congregations have been dissolved over the years.

  That 1/2 of JWs are gone does not surprise me.

  The fact that 1/2 are still there is what amazes me!

  Strange, Interesting Day

  2. experiences

  i have worked for over 25 years now in a day habilitation program for persons with physical and mental diabilities.

  in recent years this has often involved assisting them in doing community volunteer work, as in our state, persons receiving services are required to have a 'job' of some sort.

  as a result, we have worked in catholic and salvation army food pantries, animal shelters, libraries, a nature center, a vietnam war veterans museum and delivered meals on wheels.

  anything is acceptable, but make your meme your own, hand written scrawls on microsoft paint are just as funny so don't worry about quality.

  I suspect they will still state that this may very well be the LAST time we have such a gathering in this system of things.

  Did Watchtower Really Teach That Armageddon Was Coming in 1954?

  by Jerome56 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  in the march 2025 jw broadcast david splane in his morning worship talk mentioned that "some thought" that armageddon would come 40 years after 1914. such statements are usually meant to shift the blame of their own false predictions on to their members for speculating.

  however, i was unable to find anything in print showing that such a thing was indeed taught by the society.

  was this really a thing?.

  1941 was the release of the book "Children" at the convention in St Louis. The book has the scripted conversation which explains that youth of that day would never be able to marry or have children in the limited time remaining in this system of things. (However I know of no specific mention of 1954.)

  the verdict is out.

  after full understanding and decision by the state administrator, full confirmation in the appeal case by the ministry of children and family affairs, three victories in the injunction case, a full victory in the district court, we now faced a loss in the court of appeal.

  I think anyone with functioning brain cells should not only be embarrassed to be a JW - but they should have been out the door by now. -- LHG

  Fact is .............anyone with functioning braincells IS ALREADY OUT THE DOOR. (Many of them congregating here, at least temporarily.)

  Generally speaking, a couple would not discuss with others this intimate aspect of their marriage.

  Guess they've never been in a the locker room after 18 holes of golf and a 12-pack. Nor in a hot tub with a few other couples and a pitcher of margs.
